Title
Safeguarding living heritage with participatory Wiki-inventorying in Finland
Abstrat
Finland ratified the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in 2013. As part of the implementation of the Convention, the Finnish National Board of Antiquities launched a Wiki-Inventory for Living Heritage in February 2016. An open inventory offers different communities an opportunity to present their own intangible cultural heritage. By April 2017, there were already 100 submissions from over 120 communities in the platform. The traditions included can relate to celebrations, food, crafts, performing arts, games, nature, or oral traditions. Good practices, projects or methods for the safeguarding of ICH can also be presented. The Wiki-inventory works in three languages (Finnish, Swedish and English) and in additional languages. The Wiki-Inventory is constantly supplemented and updated. The platform has become a place of interest and an avenue of expression for many heritage communities and groups.
